FAQ

Common Questions

Why does the video download take longer than images?
PinGrab uses a video extraction engine to find the highest quality video stream from Pinterest. This process takes a few extra seconds compared to a direct image download, but ensures you get the best possible quality.
The logo button says no Pinterest link found — what do I do?
Make sure you have copied the Pinterest link before tapping the button. In some browsers on iOS, you may need to allow clipboard access when prompted. Alternatively, paste the link manually in the input bar below the button.
Can I download a video from a private Pinterest board?
No. PinGrab can only download publicly accessible pins. Private boards and pins that require a Pinterest login cannot be downloaded.
My download shows as an image but the pin is a video — why?
Some Pinterest videos are restricted or geo-blocked and the video stream cannot be accessed externally. In these cases, PinGrab falls back to downloading the highest quality thumbnail image available.
Does PinGrab work with Pinterest Story Pins?
PinGrab works best with standard pin URLs. Story Pins and Idea Pins may have limited support depending on the content type.
